Most relational query optimizers make use of information about the costs of accessing tuples and data structures on various storage devices. This information can at times be off b...
We introduce a novel case study in which a group of miniaturized robots screen an environment for undesirable agents, and destroy them. Because miniaturized robots are usually end...
Although distributed object computing has developed rapidly over the past decade, and is now becoming commercially important, there remain key application areas inadequately suppo...
This paper proposes a new efficient buffer management technique called shift buffering for automatic code synthesis from synchronous dataflow graphs (SDF). Two previous buffer man...
Here we explore a discriminative learning method on underlying generative models for the purpose of discriminating between object categories. Visual recognition algorithms learn m...
